Former WKU star Antonio Andrews adjusts to NFL pace

Running back Shonn Greene is still recovering from offseason knee surgery and is also five to 10 pounds overweight.

The odds are that Greene will still turn things around and hold his roster spot, but his status at least raises the question of who might get a look if the Titans choose to go in a different direction.

Andrews doesn't have a single preseason carry to his name yet, of course, but it doesn't sound as if the game is too big for him.

"I thought everything was going to be a lot faster-paced, but it really hasn't been," Andrews said. "Maybe going through all the OTAs and all the minicamps got me ready for this. But everything is just right. The holes aren't closing too fast and the blitzes aren't coming too fast."

The 5-foot-10, 225-pound Andrews ran for more than 1,700 yards in each of his last two seasons at Western Kentucky and scored a combined 27 rushing touchdowns.

What does he feel he has to do to earn a roster spot?

"Just show that I'm versatile," Andrews said. "Coach Nate (Kaczor) likes me on special teams and I just have to show (running backs coach Sylvester Croom) that I can be reliable in the backfield. But I feel like I'm on the right track. I just have to keep running hard and keep my pads up."
